Scenario 2

Finley and Eleanor form a partnership and open a dog-walking service together that matches local dog-walkers with pet owners who need their services. The primary method of connecting walkers and pet owners is through a mobile application that is currently being released in major markets around the country. Finley, who is in charge of staffing, hires Millie to review applicants for the dog-walker positions. The company’s policy requires that each applicant pass a background check and have three confirmed references before their profile is listed on the app. The company’s app recently launched in Chicago and received a lot of attention from local media, leading hundreds of locals to apply to be walkers. In other markets, the average number of applicants was just 75. Overwhelmed, Millie decides to randomly check the applicants rather than performing a thorough review on each. As a result, the company allows Luca, who was previously convicted of animal abuse, to solicit dog- walking jobs. Luca was hired by an unknowing user, and later kicked the user’s dog for disobeying his commands during the walk.
